NEWARK, Ohio (WCMH) — A Thursday morning barn fire in a Licking County township resulted in the death of more than three dozen goats.

Hartford Township fire chief John Hill said that his crews were alerted to a barn fire on Clover Valley Road at around 5 a.m. The fire burned down an agricultural barn, which housed show goats. 40 goats were killed in the fire, per Hill.

Hill said water to fight the fire had to be tanked in because there were no hydrants in the area. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
